Dr. Mohammad Marandi: Why No Preemptive Strike?

Max Blumenthal

About this episode

“The Iranians are not going to wait until the bombs start exploding. As soon as they’re convinced that something is happening, then they’re going to go all-out.”

Professor Mohammad Marandi tells Max Blumenthal that Tehran won’t strike first, citing Iranians’ widely-shared religious beliefs prohibiting unprovoked aggression. But he warns that if they’re attacked, Iranian retaliation will be immediate — and worse than “Vietnam, Iraq, and all the other US wars together.”
